HTH

They last met in September, the game being won by Villarreal 2-1 in Barcelona.

Villarreal Form

Villarreal have collected ten points from their last four La Liga matches in February, staying in the race for 4th place. They currently sit 5th, four points behind Bilbao.

The Yellow Submarine had a strong start to the month, crushing Valladolid 5-1 at home before securing a 2-1 away victory against Las Palmas, with Ayoze Perez scoring in both games.

Their winning streak ended with a 1-1 home draw against relegation-threatened Valencia, but they bounced back last weekend with a 1-0 away win over Rayo Vallecano, Ayoze Perez again the sole scorer.

Espanyol Form

Espanyol also had a solid February, earning seven points from four La Liga matches to climb to 15th place, four points above the relegation zone.

Los Periquitos caused a massive upset by beating Real Madrid 1-0 at home on 1st February, with Carlos Romero scoring the winner in the 85th minute. However, they lost their next match 2-1 away to Real Sociedad.

Espanyol then held UCL contenders Athletic Bilbao to a 1-1 draw before securing a crucial 1-0 victory over Alaves last week in Vitoria, with Fernando Calero sealing the win late on.

Team News

Hosts will be without Ilias Akhomach and Gerard Moreno who are injured, while Kiko Femenia is doubtful.

Jose Gragera, Pere Milla and Fernando Pacheco are ruled out due to injuries for Espanyol.

Espanyol: Garcia, El Hilali, Kumbulla, Cabrera, Romero, Lozano, Gonzalez, Carreras, Kral, Puado, Fernandez

Verdict

Villarreal v Espanyol

Villarreal rarely keep their net intact at home, but looked fantastic throughout February, so I will back them to beat Espanyol with BTTS on Monday evening.

Also, their striker Ayoze Perez has found the net three times in last four La Liga rounds, making him an ideal candidate for the anytime goalscorer market.
